The week of February 11, 2024 was a bad week in the documented financial life of Anthony Tomashefsky, the Sequim operator of the website olympicherald.com.
Court records show that on February 12, 2024, a civil case flagged as an eviction was filed against Tomashefsky in Clallam County Superior Court in Port Angeles, Washington. The filing, number 2420010805, names Properties by Landmark Inc. as the creditor-side party and Anthony Tomashefsky as the debtor, at the address 11 Sapphire Place, Sequim.
One day later, February 13, 2024, a $42,128 civil judgment was filed against Tomashefsky and his company, Advice Chaser LLC, in Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, New York, in favor of the business-funding company Revenued LLC.
An eviction action on one coast on a Monday; a five-figure money judgment on the other coast on Tuesday. That is the documented sequence.
What the record shows, and what it does not
The Clallam County record appears in a commercial court-records compilation as a "civil new filing" with the eviction flag set. It records the filing of the case, the parties, the court, and the date. Properties by Landmark Inc. is named in the record as the party on the creditor side of the filing; the record contains no further detail about the underlying tenancy. A "civil new filing" is how a case enters the superior court system, and the eviction flag identifies the nature of the action sought. TROH does not know from this record whether the case proceeded to judgment, settled, or was dismissed, and this article asserts nothing about the outcome. What is documented is that the case was filed: on February 12, 2024, a property company took the man who now solicits donations to fund his "news" site to court to remove him from a Sequim address.
The address matters beyond the case itself. Eleven Sapphire Place is not only the eviction address. It is the same Sequim address that appears on the Washington UCC financing statement filed September 25, 2023 against Tomashefsky and Advice Chaser LLC, the filing pledging "all tangible and intangible personal property" of both debtors. And it is the address a commercial data report associates with Tomashefsky's role as contact for Advice Chaser LLC. Home, company, lien, and eviction action converge at a single residence.
The six-month run-up
Placed in order, the public record reads like a tightening vise:
- September 19, 2023. Revenued LLC sues Advice Chaser LLC and Anthony Tomashefsky personally in Nassau County, New York, for breach of contract and breach of guarantee.
- September 25, 2023. Six days later, the UCC financing statement is filed in Washington, asserting a security interest in everything the man and the company own.
- November 2023. Revenued moves for a default judgment; the docket records the motion as granted.
- February 12, 2024. The eviction case is filed in Clallam County Superior Court.
- February 13, 2024. The $42,128 New York judgment is filed.
Five documented events in five months, each in a public court or state filing system, each naming the same man.
The record adds two further details worth noting. First, the eviction entry lists a single debtor. Tomashefsky alone, not the company. This was not a business dispute; it was an action against the man at the address where he lived. The report's address history places him at 11 Sapphire Place from August 2022 through July 2025. Second, the courthouse matters to the larger record: Clallam County Superior Court is the same court where, on August 8, 2025, Ben Mavy would file the civil protection-order petition against Tomashefsky, case 25-2-00595-05, that a judge granted on August 26, 2025, effective through August 26, 2027.
Why this belongs in the record
The Olympic Herald asks its readers for money, one-time contributions up to $500 and recurring memberships, per its own donate page, to support what it calls independent journalism. Its operator's recent financial history, as documented in court records on two coasts, includes a business-funding lawsuit he did not defeat, a judgment for $42,128 against him personally and his company, a lien-style filing against all of their property, and an eviction action at his home address.
None of that is characterization. All of it is docket entries and filing numbers, quoted from public records that any reader can pull.
This article relies on public court records and public complaints. TROH welcomes a response from Mr. Tomashefsky and will publish it in full.
